RE: [ACFUG Discuss] HostMySite observations?
Dusty, And your new VPS provider is...? Inquiring minds want to know! Paul Morton From: ad...@acfug.org [mailto:ad...@acfug.org] On Behalf Of Dusty Hale Sent: Friday, February 01, 2013 9:15 AM To: discussion@acfug.org Subject: Re: [ACFUG Discuss] HostMySite observations? From total hosting stardom to complete has-been. I used to think they were the best thing since sliced bread but now they're just plain difficult to deal with and just not the same HostMySite that developers used to love. I use them only because I still have a few shared sites left there and I plan to move those eventually. I also had to move my Windows VPS and CF setup because they just suddenly discontinued the service on it and tried to force me to moving to their new cloud service at more than double the cost. We found another reliable VPS provider for almost half of the original cost of their VPS service they discontinued and the new provider we found has not only saved us a ton of money but they've done a far better job than HMS has done since they went downhill. Ironically I think about 1 year after killing my VPS service, they started offering it again but it's too late it was too much work to move it and the new provider is better and the cost is only half what I was paying HMS.

[ACFUG Discuss] Database incremental Counter
I'm just looking for ideas when creating a counter in a SQL server database. I have a need for a counter that stores an integer value and increments the counter each time it is used. My inclination is to create a table with one record with one integer field that is just retrieved, incremented, and updated each time I need a new number. It seems sort of kludgey, and I would love to hear any other implementations anyone may have used, or can dream up. Also, if anyone can anticipate any issues with this method, I would love to hear them. I have no need for keeping any records of the numbers used.

As I said there, my blog is not a bank, so I don't need to worry about people breaking in to leave me a spam comment. It's just not worth it to them. I just felt the captcha could be simplified without grave risk, based on the arguments in the entry above: Simplifying the captcha graphic in Lyla Captcha (and BlogCFC) http://carehart.org/blog/client/index.cfm/2006/8/17/simplifying_lyla_in_blo gcfc I used the analogy of putting on a screen door versus a double-key deadbolt. It seems my arguments made sense. Besides the favorable comments, soon after those entries, Ray changed the default in BlogCFC to use the simpler captcha I advocated. But for those using an older version, I offer the XML file to update it at: Want to simplify your Blogcfc (or other Lyla-based) captcha?

[ACFUG Discuss] OT: CAPTCHA Effectiveness
Sorry about the off topic post, but I'm curious as to how effective people have found CAPTCHA at stopping, or at least slowing down the SPAM form hijacking on public pages?

RE: [ACFUG Discuss] OT: CAPTCHA Effectiveness
Thanks for the quick response Dean. I guess if you paid someone to fill out the forms manually, there is really no way to stop it, short of taking the form off line.

RE: [ACFUG Discuss] OT: Able Commerce
Title: Message Cody, I'm surprised to hear that. My understanding is that the CF version has been around a while. That's a good point for me to get clarified. I did hear (from an Able Commerce employee) that the current development team tends to develop improvements on the DotNet platform first and apply the changes to the CF version latter. It looks like the client is leaning towards the CF version right now just due to the lower learning curve to modify source code. They have no experience in either technology but are much more impressed with the ease of understandability in the CF side. Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks Cam.

It was definitly first built in CF and them later ported to .NET (sometime around 2001/2002?). However, I suspect that if the .NET version sold better that they may now be putting features in the .NET version first and then porting them to CF later. -Cameron On 6/8/06, Paul Morton [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Cody, I'm surprised to hear that.

I have never used any other cart, but every day I am impressed with its potential and flexibility. The only thing that it WILL NOT DO that I need it to do is: The products have a one to one relationship with the vendor of the product. We have many vendors that sell the same product and this situation is not catered to from the Purchasing agents perspective. There is a work around by adding a Vendor_Products table into the DB, and using foreign keys etc to make it work but that is something that needs doing that you may or maynot need. Also: See web2market.com for some addon features available for the CFMX cart. Robert P.

(www.daveramsey.com/shop) I've not used the .net (or jsp) versions but the cfmx works pretty well. we had some thread safety issues early on but those seems to all be resolved now. One thing to keep in mind is that the license you buy is tied to one and only one domain name. so if your store is purchased for www.example.com, and people to do example.com they will get a license error.
